To Isaly’s for Class breakfast. John Houser came alone – 2 mo. ago Martha was with him & last month they were absent because Martha was in hospital. He tried so hard to act brave. I left early for appointment with Dr. Cook but found is was for 1:30. I’ve mislaid my date book. He worked me in & pared the corn & packed it with salve. Back next week to decide what to do.

Grocery shopped at Kroger’s. Picked up letter from Ertle& purchase order for 3,000 model Cockshutt model tractors from Mark Bauer to make copies for Willis. Also called Anna Mae Schwaderer and asked for Huber Assoc. files saying Schwaderer Farm Supply will buy back at wholesale any unsold units.

Finally got through to Evan Adams at Butler with invitation to be Reg. 2 Rep. He asked for more info. also found he is a preservation consultant. Might want to work on P.O.

Called David to check out airline prices to have Dave & Dee fly home. Found military was best but it still would be over $1000 so I called them at their new apt in Vallejo & told them i didn’t want to spend that much. They had spent yesterday with William Clements – friend from Sierra Club backpacking days. He’s Sr. at Santa Cruz COllege & has cabin in hills where he lives.
In to Judge Myers’ lecture. Tom Wagner) Kennedy setting up to tape lecture but no sign of Dick West for video. Charlton played tapes of Salt Rock Marching & Historical Society for 1/2 hrs & reviewed for another 15 min, so only got up to canal period.

Mary & I went to Kiwanis Pancake supper to eat.
